Unless you have a full frame dslr, it's really tricky to do good landscape pics because of the 1.6x multiplier effect.

I'd have to disagree (sort of), whilst 14mm is wide, it's not that wide, I've got a 10.5mm rectangular fish eye (16mm on FX) which I use for panorama's / landscape, you can get a 10mm-24mm for less than £600 (branded and less for sigma / tamron) weight isn't really and issue as a landscape photographer with be carrying a tripod anyway so will make little difference.  then you've got the option for stitching shots to get a wider view.

It's not tricky, it's just expensive lol

I also agree, I've seen some great landscapes shot with a crop senser and kit 18-55. That said I'm considering buying a 10-20mm Sigma later in the year as I have a few paid gigs to shoot that it will be useful for and the payments will cover the cost of the lens.

Just had a play with a co-workers Sigma 70-300 APO Macro. Want! Not bad for £180 as well.

Well just ordered the above. Should be with me Sat morning.

I shall pass my old Sigma 55-200m F4/5.6 to the wife as she only has the kit lens for her 400D.

I've ordered a lowepro toploader case (45 All Weather) and another memory card (currently using the one out of my point and shoot). Should be good to go for the Honey moon in a few weeks now.

Looking at a zoom lense (Sigma 70-300) and some triggers (and another flash) and a backpack style case to hold it all :)

Urrggghhh I ordered a Nikon lens by mistake somehow. What a thingy. Gotta return it to amazon now and I was looking forward to using it this weekend. Might just splurge out and buy it in jessops instead as I can't be faffed to wait for it all to be refunded.

Just bought a yongnuo transmitter and receiver for wireless flash for £18.

Hopefully I can buy another receiver at a later point.
